        NLS | Standard Deep Mounting Block 34mm | White

        The NLS 30048 is a 34mm deep surface-mount mounting block, moulded in white and sized to suit standard 84mm-centre wall plates. The 30048 lifts power points, switches, and similar accessories clear of brick, sheet steel, or corrugated surfaces that cannot accommodate a flush installation. It measures 123 x 81mm and is supplied with two wall-plate mounting screws.

        Surface installs on solid brick, sheet steel, or corrugated walls leave no cavity for the cable terminations behind a power point or switch. The NLS 30048 adds 34mm of internal depth, providing room to house conductor loops and bulky terminations without forcing the wall plate to sit proud. Its 84mm mounting centres match standard faceplates, so the accessory lands square for a neat, factory-fit finish.

        For contractors fitting out sheds, garages, or rendered masonry, the 30048 is a low-cost backing block that holds position and fixes off quickly. The one-piece moulding stays square beneath the faceplate and accepts the two supplied screws directly into the substrate. At this price point, electricians routinely order the 30048 by the carton and keep a supply on the van for surface installations and retrofit work.

        Features

        • 34mm deep body — gives internal room to house cable loops and terminations behind the accessory, suited to deeper fittings such as dimmers and timers.
        • 84mm mounting centres — matches standard Australian wall plates, so most power points and switches screw straight onto the block without modification.
        • Surface-mount design — fixes to the wall face and lifts the accessory clear of brick, sheet steel, or corrugated surfaces that cannot take a flush box.
        • Two screws supplied — the NLS 30048 ships with two wall-plate mounting screws, so the faceplate fixes off without sourcing extra fixings.
        • 123 x 81mm footprint — sized to sit under standard faceplates and cover the fixing area for a tidy result on the wall.
        • White moulded finish — the neutral white body matches common wall plates and trims across domestic and commercial fit-outs.
        • One-piece body — the single moulding stays square under load and resists flex when the accessory is screwed down.
        • Light 77g block — adds minimal weight to the install and stores easily by the box on the van or in the tool bag.
        • Sold individually — the 30048 is supplied as a single block, with carton increments of 10 for trade buyers ordering in volume.
        • Indoor and protected use only — the 30048 carries no IP rating and is not rated for wet or weather-exposed locations, suiting dry interior, workshop, and garage installs.

        Where to use

        • Surface-mounted GPOs and switches — fit a power point or switch on the wall face where a recessed box is not an option.
        • Brick, block, and rendered walls — provides a flat fixing plane on masonry that cannot be neatly chased for a flush mount.
        • Sheds, garages, and workshops — surface-fix accessories to steel or timber framing where cables run on the surface rather than in a cavity.
        • Renovations and retrofits — the NLS 30048 adds depth behind a relocated or added outlet without opening up the wall lining.
        • Deeper-bodied accessories — use the 34mm depth for dimmers, timers, and fittings that need extra room behind the faceplate.
        • Mixed-brand fit-offs — the standard 84mm centres let the 30048 carry common power points and switches across a job.

        The NLS 30048 is not rated for wet or weather-exposed locations and carries no IP rating, so it should not be installed outdoors or in unprotected damp areas. It is a surface block intended for dry interior and protected positions, not a sealed or weatherproof enclosure.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: NLS 30048 Standard Deep Mounting Block 34mm (30048)

        "well made mounting block" — Terry

        "Very Happy did exactly what I needed it to do" — Gary

        "Great product for the price" — Scott

        (30048)

        The NLS 30048 ships with two wall-plate mounting screws for fixing the faceplate to the block. Fixings for securing the block to the wall depend on the substrate, so use masonry plug-and-screw for brick and self-drillers for steel, matched to the surface behind it.

        Standard-size power points and switches with 84mm mounting centres fit the 30048, which covers most common Australian GPOs and light switches across brands. Confirm the faceplate being fitted uses the standard 84mm centre pattern before ordering.

        The NLS 30048 is 34mm deep, giving more internal room than a shallow block to house cable loops, terminations, and deeper-bodied fittings such as dimmers or timers. The added depth also helps conductors sit within the bend radius the wiring rules require.

        Surface mounting an accessory on a block is compliant under AS/NZS 3000:2018 when correctly specified, with the block depth chosen to suit the cable bend radius. All connection work must be carried out by a licensed electrician.

        The 30048 carries no IP rating and is not designed for wet or weather-exposed positions. Keep it to dry interior and protected locations such as living spaces, garages, and workshops. Outdoor or damp installs need a weatherproof enclosure rated for that exposure.

        The mounting block uses a one-piece moulded body that holds its shape under the faceplate and stays square when the accessory is screwed down. It is a plastic surface block, so it supports a standard wall plate and its wiring rather than any structural load.

        The NLS 30048 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.

        Good price and solid, could do with some 20mm knock outs.
